[Opening]
[Dm]I’ll keep the pictures [Db]saved in a safe place, [Bb]wow, I look so weird here
My [Db]face has changed now, [Dm] [Db]it’s a big [Bb]shame [Db]
[Dm]So many feelings, [Db]struggling to leave my [Bb]mouth
And it’s not that rare for me to [Db]let myself [Dm]down
In a big [Db]way, [Bb]but I had enough [C]time and I found enough reason to accept that

[chorus]
[F]It’s not the [C]same anymore, [Gm]I lost the joy in my face [Dm]
My life was simple before, [F]I should be happy, [C]of course[Gm]
But things just got much harder, [Dm]now it’s just hard to [F]ignore
It’s not the [C]same anymore, [Gm] [Dm] [F]it’s not the [C]same anymore
[Gm]It’s not the same, [Dm]but, it’s not a shame ’cause

[section 2]
[F]I spend a long time [C]putting up with people, [Gm]putting on my best face [Dm]
It’s only normal when you [F]stop things in the wrong [C]way
It’s only four o’clock and [Gm]still, it’s been a long day
[Dm]I just wanna hit the hay, [F]people knocking on me like every day [C]

[section 3]
I’m tired of taking stress, if [Gm]only there could be another way [Dm]
I’m tired of feeling suppressed, [F]and when they want me the most [C]
I’m tired of acting like I [Dm]care, but I do, and I [C]can’t wait to hit the bed
But tomorrow makes me scared

[chorus]
[F]’Cause it’s not the same [C]anymore, [Gm]I lost the joy in my face[Dm]
My life was simple before[F], I should be happy, [C]of course (Of course)[Gm]
But things just got much harder, [Dm]now it’s just hard to ignore[F]
It’s not the same [C]anymore (It’s not the same) [Gm](It’s not the [Dm]same)
(It’s not the same) [F]It’s not the same [C]anymore (It’s not the [Gm]same)
(It’s not the [Dm]same) (It’s not the same)
[F]Oh-oh (It’s not the [C]same) (It’s not the [Gm]same) (It’s not the [Dm]same) [Db]Oh-oh

[section 4]
[D]I kept the feelings [Gm]inside, [D]I open up when shit gets built up [Gm]this high
[D]She makes it easy to [Gm]cry, [D]the words fall out of me and there’s no more [Gm]disguise
[Dm]I miss the days when I was someone else, [Gb]I used to be so hungry
Right now, my stomach’s full [D#]as hell, and I’ve [Gb]spent many months just hating on myself
I can’t [F]keep wishing things will be different, or leaving problems on the shelf
[D]I wish I didn’t need to get help, but I [Eb]do, but I [Bb]do, oh-oh-oh[Eb] [C]

[section 5]
[Bb]I been so hard on [F]myself, yeah, [Gm][F]even my family can tell
And they barely saw what I [F]felt, I wouldn’t wish this on my [C]enemy or anyone else
[Bb]It’s not the same, [F](It’s not the same), [E](It’s not the same)
[Bb]It’s not the same as before, It’s not the same [E]anymore, and it’s fine because

[Closing]
[F] [C] [Gm] [Dm] [F] [C] [Gm] [Dm] [F] [C] [Gm] [Dm] [F] [C] [Gm] [Dm]
[F]I’ve learned so much from [C]before, [Gm]now I’m not sure on advice
[Dm]There’s no excuses at all, [F]no point in feeling upset
[C]Won’t take my place on the floor, [Gm]I’ll stand up straight like I’m [Dm]tall
[F]It’s up to me, no one else, [C]I’m doing this for myself
[Gm]It’s not the same [Dm]anymore, [F]it’s better[C]
[Gm]It got better, [Dm]it’s not the same anymore, [F]it’s better[C] [Gm] [Dm]Yeah, yeah
